Hello! I'm searching for a Royal Navy PO who was stationed in HMCS Stadacona in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada approximately 1961-1964. His name is William H. Black, I have his Chiefs and PO's Membership Card.Here is the information I have:

Born: approx. 1931 (+/- 5 years)Service Number: P/MX 890778Arrived or departed Stadacona on the HMS AurigaServed on the HMS Maidstone/Dreadnought in 1965Received an RN Long Standing or Good standing award/payment in November 1965

I've attached the images of the documents I have. I believe his records at TNA are closed until 2032. I've reached out to related Facebook groups, searched the National Archives collections & Ancestry.com, and contacted the Submariners Associations in Canada.

Does anyone have advice on where else to look? Or happen to have spent time in Stadacona during this time?

thanks for the address for the National Archives, i was aware of the change over from AFOs to DCI, iused to deal with them on a daily bases, i am trying to see what AFO 1414/54 is about , ( i think it a reference to the official badge for fast patrol boats ) i will try my luck on the address you , Thanks Tom Grant

Greetings All I wonder is there any place or even a collector who would be able to tell me what one of the AFO's mentioned, I have been looking for this particular AFO for many years, but as we all know these are a thing of the past, and I guess dead and buried, in my time in the Navy I had access to AFO's on a daily bases, but what happened to these when they were no longer required,Any help would be most appreciated as to a place or collector,Tom Grant
